Inter Cable-Tel 0 Celtic 3
CELTIC put their recent off-field problems behind them to score a comfortable victory over Inter Cable-Tel in last night's UEFA Cup qualifying tie first leg at Cardiff's Ninian Park.
Wim Jansen's first game as head coach finished in a deserved win for the visitors, with goals from Andreas Thom, Tommy Johnson and Morten Wieghorst crowning a game they dominated throughout.
Dutchman Jansen had promised before that the absence of controversial forward Paolo Di Canio through stress wouldn't unsettle his side - and that was the case as the Bhoys virtually booked their ticket for the next round.
Thom's sixth minute penalty eased the fears there might have been from the Bhoys, the German sent Ellacott the wrong way from the spot.
For the rest of the first half Celtic dominated, only to find keeper Ellacott, a fireman by trade, ready for most emergencies that came his way.
Double
But Celtic continued to push forward and Inter's defence was broken on the stroke of half-time by former Aston Villa man Johnson, who pounced on a loose ball to double his side's tally.
After the break Celtic appeared to be ready to settle for what they'd secured and slowed the pace of the game.
On the hour, Thom again found room on the left, but was stopped by a well-timed tackle by Richard Williams in the penalty area.
But Thom continued to run the show and it was his hard work which almost resulted in a third Celtic goal when Johnson's fierce downward header was blocked.
Problem
Moments later Johnson gave way to sub Darren Jackson, letting the former Hibs man make his debut after being unable to start because of a hamstring problem.
And Jacko was denied a goal with just 10 minutes left when the outstanding Ellacott saved well from close-range.
But from the resulting corner Celtic snatched their third goal after 81 minutes with Wieghorst jumping highest to power a header into the roof of the net.
